Benefits of technology

The second fixing device described in this patent can only move in one direction, which is the direction perpendicular to the label strips. This design ensures higher stability and accuracy of the fixing process compared to devices that can also move in the second direction.

Problems solved by technology

However, this leads to delays when an empty label roll has to be replaced by a full label roll.

Embodiment Construction

[0027]FIG. 1 shows a loading device 1 in a perspective view. This loading device 1 comprises a plurality of holding devices 15, although only one such holding device 15 is shown in FIG. 1. A carrier 3a is arranged on this holding device 15, and arranged in turn on this carrier is a label roll, onto which a label strip 14a is wound. During normal operation, this label strip 14a is unwound from the label roll and guided along the sections A, B and C via a plurality of deflection rollers. In the process, the carrier 3a is driven by a servo motor (explained in detail below). Also provided is a transport device 5, which here comprises a drawing roller 5a, for transporting the second label strip 14. The transport device 5 is arranged on a joining unit 8. The entire loading device 1 is arranged on a frame (not shown).

[0028]If a label roll 13 has run out, an end section of the label strip 14 that has just run out must be joined to a start section of a new strip of a further label roll 13. F...

Abstract

A labeling system may include a labeling device which applies labels to objects, for example, containers, and a loading device which is arranged upstream of this labeling device and which supplies the labeling device with labels The loading device may comprise a transport device which transports a second label strip and comprises at least two carriers for first label strips wound onto label rolls The carriers may be arranged next to one another on holding devices. A joining unit may be provided which can be displaced between the carriers in a first movement direction and which joins sections of the first label strips, which are arranged on the carriers, to sections of the second label strips, which are guided in the transport device.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is filed under 35 U.S.C. 371 as a U.S. national phase application of PCT / EP2007 / 007737, having an international filing date of Sep. 5, 2007, which claims the benefit of German Patent Application No. 10 2006 043 260.6 having a filing date of Sep. 11, 2006, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to a labelling system and will be described with reference to a labelling system for labelling containers. However, it is pointed out that the labelling system according to the invention can also be used for labelling other objects. Various labelling systems are known from the prior art. In these, a labelling device is provided which applies the labels to the containers.BACKGROUND[0003]The labels can be provided in various ways, for example as endless label strips for winding around containers, as self-adhesive label strips, etc. The endless labe...
